goal judge
Scores the point
A goal judge is an official in ice hockey positioned behind each goal to determine whether the puck has crossed the goal line.
The goal judge activates a red light to signal a score, though the referee makes the final call.
In modern professional hockey, video review has largely superseded the goal judge's authority on disputed plays.
